Viz going to do scans themselves???

Hey ladies and gents. Well, as you all may know, Viz is already doing anime subs themselves for naruto (hence DB stopped subbing it), but now it seems they are going to look to do the new naruto chapters themselves as well (translation and such) and share it thru the net.

This is just a theory (keep that in mind narutards)

In my last issue of Monthly Shonen Jump, I read that they were planning on catching up with the manga in JP. So they are releasing quickly to volume 46 in the next 2-3 months.

Now, here is what I'm thinking: They will do up to the most recent volume in Japan, and then they will start translating the scans, then release them on their site, and piss off all the scan teams that are already doing it. What do YOU think about this?

To combat scan teams its more than likely they'll cut the difference by an accelerated release of non japanese volumes like they did in 2007 (12 volumes in 4 months). Amazon are already taking orders for volume 36 of Naruto the last time I checked. Releasing scans on the net would be pointless and counter-productive because they'd still get distributed for free in the end.

well i see it as a sort of a pain because, while it would be nice to read all my manga from a single collection of books, I really would rather read it a day or so after it comes out, obviously need to wait for translation from the scanners, then wait a month or so to see a edited version of it
